    You would need to contact your local authority to find out their criteria for a blue badge renewal.

    I see from your previous thread that you were born before April 1948 so you would not be one of those that would be moved across to PIP and you will remain on DLA.

    To qualify for the mobility part you would need to prove that your mobility was affected before you reached state pension age. If you can do this you can request a supersession of your DLA award but it's not an easy or straight forward process. For this reason expert advice is definitely needed.

    For your BB renewal in the meantime you just apply the same way you did for your current one.
